Sounds like a perfect way to spend my Friday night to me, but the show is on Sunday, not tonight, if you read the first post in this thread.

I have been to the Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis. It is a powerful experience to stand on that balcony.
I watched Soledad O'Brien's program on CNN last night. It was very well done, I thought.

I'll remember the adultery, communism, and plagiarism.
And the very eloquent speeches.

This is one of my favorite pictures of Dr. King and one of his children. It reminds me of a picture of my dad and me.
